Seth, I think there's a bug reported that if you open a second window - all the
popupmenus in the new search dialog are blank.
Anyway, if this bug is valid - it should go to the Search/Filters component.

well, it didn't work.
doing "Search | Search Mail News Messages" again while search is open and your
search window gets horked.
in 4.x, doing search again just brings the search window to the front.
frank's RFE would be to make it open multiple message searching windows
when I investigate fixing the "horked" issue, I can see if it is possible to
open another window.

I'm unable to open the second window, but that's what is happening to my first
window.
if that is an existing bug, we can turn this back into frank's original RFE (and
make this depend on that bug.)

Turning this bug into ftang's original request, like Seth mentioned. Will make
it dependent on 44799.
Taking 4xp keyword away, since 4.x doesn't allow multiple search windows (I
think that keyword was placed here for the 44799 condition).
